Great hiking; fishing from shore was sparse. Beautifully treed. Great tent sites, clean toilets, friendly camp host. Be aware of the elevation if you have a heart condition.

Camp host, Jill, is sociable, and willingly offers information to questions. She keeps an eye out for guests and can reach out to emergency services if needed despite poor cell service; also does a diligent job of caring for camp facilities.

The lake is very nice. Many good hiking trails for all levels. The camp host is a hoot. When we were there the campground was nearly empty which was nice. Make sure you have plenty of mosquito repellent and/or a screen room.

This is definitely off the grid! Beautiful lake and surroundings. The camp has drinking water and it’s wonderful, however there is not any potable water for your RV. Jill the camp host is a delight and keeps the place super clean, even the vault toilets are above tolerable.
Bring bug spray, lots of mosquitoes, but that should be expected next to a lake.

Nice campground, nice hostess. There were a lot of mosquitos. The lake is beautiful. The water from the hand pump is delicious! For RV campers you cannot hook a hose to the pump.

Nice campground with clean outhouses. The boat launch area is easy to navigate. The biggest complaint was the constant swarms of mosquitoes. That made it hard to enjoy being outside.

The camp hostess was amazing.
She went above and beyond to make our experience top notch.
The bathrooms were spotless and the campgrounds clean and inviting.
Can’t wait to visit again.

This is a beautiful place. Peaceful and quiet with many nearby attractions. Jill the camp host was one of the most friendly and hospitable hosts we've encountered in our years of Idaho camping. She made the stay that much better. Will be back.
